Her Southern Roots Are Deeper Than We Ever Knew.

It’s no big secret of where Beyonce comes from, and how it has crafted her sound and style over the years. She’s a Texan through and through, and everything is bigger in Texas. ‘Lemonade’ shows off just how deep those southern roots run, and how big of an impact they play in her creative side. From the brilliant, rustic scenery of the whole video clip, to the country tinged sounds of ‘Daddy Lessons’, Beyonce’s Southern roots seem as big as the state she’s from. With references to her Texas upbringing, the brilliant wardrobe of Southern Belle’s from generations past, and much more, she certainly gave us a heavy dose of her Southern heritage in ‘Lemonade’; which happens to be one of the most amazing drinks from the south!

She & Jay Z Are Not Getting Divorced.

By the looks of the interwebs when ‘Lemonade’ first dropped, you would think that Bey and Jay had already signed the papers. However upon watching and listening to the project we find that while she may have been hurt, she, and certainly he, see the bigger picture. We find a tough Beyonce, while also the vulnerable, caring, mothering side of her comes to, providing a brilliant contrast in attitude and in art; both visually and audibly. While she may have been hurt, made, and searching for the right choice to make, it doesn’t look like the power couple are calling quits! This is just another example of Beyonce showing off her layers and talents.

She Was Pregnant, Naysayers.

With anything in today’s world of instant internet news, word travels fast, and sometimes falsely. From the moment that Beyonce announced that she was first pregnant with Blue Ivy, the conspiracy theorists immediately set the internet ablaze with questions. ‘Lemonade’ shuts down those theories as we see Beyonce, pregnant as ever in a candid home video during the wearing a black bra and looking amazing and radiant as ever. Sure, we all as fans, knew she was pregnant, but this was strictly for the naysayers!

She Can Slay Any Genre Of Music.

While we all know Beyonce can do whatever she wants, and be quite successful at it, ‘Lemonade’ showed off her ability to do anything type of musical genre. From her country inspired sounds of ‘Daddy Lessons’ to the energetic and club anthem that is ‘Formation’ to more smooth R&B sounds like ‘Forward’ and ‘Sandcastles’, even giving us some blues and rock edged sounds in the process. Beyonce does her thing, and looks to be coming from crowns in all sorts of genres! Watch out Taylor!

She Is The King.

Let’s face it, we all knew she was good, but Beyonce has again delivered another stellar project. While we’re only a couple days in of listening, the visual aspect of the project certainly made the audio much more in-depth and brilliant. With another visual piece of art Beyonce again shows off her incredible talents, her range and her beauty once again. This one feels more personal, more intense, more raw, and certainly establishes Beyonce as King Bey; at least in our book. She shows her ability to rule, to dominate by force, her uncanny ability to create art, and does so in quite striking form! King Bey is here!
